What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files sent from a website and stored in the user’s web browser while the user is browsing a website. When users visit the same website again, the browser sends cookies back to the website allowing the website to recognise the user and remember things like browser details or user preferences.

Most Web browsers are set to automatically accept cookies but you can change the settings on your browser to reject all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is sent, or to accept all cookies. Your browser’s privacy settings screens will tell you how to do this. Google has created a browser add-on to allow users prevent their data being used by Google Analytics. For more information see the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

BordBia.ie uses functional cookies for web analytics and content sharing. We also use third-party cookies (such as DoubleClick) to run Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. These cookies gather general demographic data (such as age, gender, and interests) on visitors but do not collect any personally identifiable information.
